Guo Guibang was one of the three generals under Zhao Guoshan of Luliang County, and he was the most capable one.
Zhao Guoshan has four main people under him:
Wen Cheng and Li Yuanming were actually counselors.
General Zuo, Guo Guibang, was the first general in Luliang County. He was responsible for garrisoning the north, mainly Anyang and Zhongshan County.
Right General, Zou Zhiquan, the second general of Luliang County. Responsible for garrisoning the south, mainly responsible for Dongyuan County and part of Minshan County in the south.
Major General, the son of Zhao Youdan and Zhao Guoshan, needless to say, he is an absolute confidant, responsible for defending the "Nanliang Prefecture", the capital of Luliang County.
At this moment, Guo Guibang was frowning as he looked at the sand table, repeatedly pondering the possible forms of battle. Anyang had fought several battles, experienced fierce battles, and had powerful artillery, war instruments, and that strange locomotive. All of this made Guo Guibang a little worried.
On the other hand, although Luliang County has an area of 400 miles, which is dozens of times the size of Anyang, its combat personnel, fighting will, etc. are far inferior to those of the Anyang army that has been guarding the border and fighting non-stop!
Others only saw the 200,000-man army of Luliang County, but Guo Guibang saw some new soldiers who lacked combat experience and training. In Guo Guibang's view, if the soldiers of Anyang were "iron", then the soldiers of Luliang County were "clay sculptures". Soldiers who had never been on the battlefield and only knew how to oppress the people were not real soldiers!
The lieutenant general next to him stood straight and watched Guo Guibang busying himself quietly without saying a word.
At this moment, the voice of the personal soldiers came from outside: "General, there is a letter from Nanliang Mansion."
Guo Guibang took the letter and frowned. "The prince is here, and he said he brought a handwritten letter from Li Xian, saying that Anyang is willing to settle the matter peacefully."
The lieutenant general looked at Guo Guibang's frowning brows and had a question in his mind, "General, what's the problem?"
Guo Guibang shook his head slightly. "These words were said by the prince, not by Li Xian himself. If it was said by Li Xian himself, there would be no problem with it. But if it was relayed by someone else, especially by the prince, we should be cautious. Don't spread this matter to others for now. Inform the front line and continue to be vigilant. It's better to be cautious."
At this moment, in Nanliang Prefecture of Luliang County, the governor Zhao Guoshan saw off the prince; after the prince left Anyang, he first went to Zhongshan County, then to Luliang County, and now he was preparing to continue south to Dongyuan County - this was the fallback plan the prince prepared for himself!
At this moment, three ironclad ships were speeding on the sea east of Luliang County.
Chang Lin frowned as he looked at the crude "sea chart" in his hand. Because there are monsters, dragons, etc. in the sea, this place has always been a forbidden place for humans; even if a master occasionally comes, he will not bother to draw a sea chart. It can be said that everything is difficult at the beginning. If Anyang wants to develop the maritime industry, there are still countless difficulties to overcome.
Fortunately, the mission this time was relatively simple. It was to bombard several checkpoints on the coast of Luliang County from the East China Sea and cooperate with the main force in the assault.
There are several clever and studious soldiers on the mast observing, and their main tool of observation is a telescope. Perhaps there are also very simple sextants, compasses, etc. Fortunately, compasses can be used in this world.
